the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
It’s berry season and there are blueberry offers* everywhere you look so let’s make some pancakes. The first time I tasted blueberries I was underwhelmed, all those years of seeing them on TV, I honestly thought they would be out of this world. Truth is blueberries are pretty plain when eaten on their own but […]
I enjoy smoothies, not only are they healthy but pretty easy to whip up. An additional benefit is that you can quickly make one for a quick breakfast. Sometime last week the hubs brought some tree tomatoes and turns out I had some frozen bananas and yoghurt on hand. Whenever I spot a banana that […]
Hey foodies, I’ve missed you. I know, I’ve been gone for long but great thing is I’m back and with new recipes to boot. I have been meaning to share this recipe for a while now but I kept on postponing. I have made banana pancakes before but I used to blend the ingredients together […]

They are pretty […]
This past weekend was hubby’s birthday, so I decided to bake him a surprise birthday cake. Planning a surprise for someone you live with can be a bit difficult. The biggest challenge was where to hide the cake. I recall earlier this year, on the eve of my birthday, hubby had prohibited me from opening the fridge. […]
This was the second time I was making this cake and since the first time was a huge success I didn’t think this time would be any different. Boy was I wrong. Honestly, I had debated on whether I should post this seeing that it didn’t come out as expected. All in all I decided […]
I love looking at different recipes and spicing them up with my own additions. My love for baking made me search for a simple muffin recipe. The first time I baked them, I had some ripe bananas and had a great idea of incorporating them into the recipe. Since then, I always bake them with […]
Some Saturdays ago we had dinner over at my other family. We usually have a great time and never leave till it’s like pretty late. As is my mother in law’s tradition, she gave us some goodies to carry with us once we were about to head for home. This time round she gave us […]
